The clinical demand for cartilage tissue engineering is potentially large for reconstruction defects resulting from congenital deformities or degenerative disease due to limited donor sites for autologous tissue and donor site morbidities. Cartilage tissue engineering has been successfully applied to the medical field: a scaffold pre-cultured with chondrocytes was used prior to implantation in an animal model. We have developed a surgical approach in which tissues are engineered by implantation with a vascular pedicle as an in vivo bioreactor in bone and adipose tissue engineering. Collagen type II, chitosan, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) were four commonly applied scaffolds in cartilage tissue engineering. To expand the application of the same animal model in cartilage tissue engineering, these four scaffolds were selected and compared for their ability to generate cartilage with chondrocytes in the same model with an in vivo bioreactor. Gene expression and immunohistochemistry staining methods were used to evaluate the chondrogenesis and osteogenesis of specimens. The result showed that the PLGA and PCL scaffolds exhibited better chondrogenesis than chitosan and type II collagen in the in vivo bioreactor. Among these four scaffolds, the PCL scaffold presented the most significant result of chondrogenesis embedded around the vascular pedicle in the long-term culture incubation phase.

This review describes recent efforts on the synthesis, dispersion and surface functionalization of the three dominating oxide nanoparticles used for photocatalytic, UV-blocking and sunscreen applications: titania, zinc oxide, and ceria. The gas phase and liquid phase synthesis is described briefly and examples are given of how weakly aggregated photocatalytic or UV-absorbing oxide nanoparticles with different composition, morphology and size can be generated. The principles of deagglomeration are reviewed and the specific challenges for nanoparticles highlighted. The stabilization of oxide nanoparticles in both aqueous and non-aqueous media requires a good understanding of the magnitude of the interparticle forces and the surface chemistry of the materials. Quantitative estimates of the Hamaker constants in various media and measurements of the isoelectric points for the different oxide nanoparticles are presented together with an overview of different additives used to prepare stable dispersions. The structural and chemical requirements and the various routes to produce transparent photocatalytic and nanoparticle-based UV-protecting coatings, and UV-blocking sunscreens are described and discussed.

Solid State Ionics has its roots essentially in Europe. First foundations were laid by Michael Faraday who discovered the solid electrolytes Ag 2S and PbF 2 and coined terms such as cation and anion, electrode and electrolyte. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the main lines of development toward Solid State Ionics, pursued in Europe, concerned the linear laws of transport, structural analysis, disorder and entropy and the electrochemical storage and conversion of energy. Fundamental contributions were then made by Walther Nernst, who derived the Nernst equation and detected ionic conduction in heterovalently doped zirconia, which he utilized in his Nernst lamp. Another big step forward was the discovery of the extraordinary properties of alpha silver iodide in 1914. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the concept of point defects was established by Yakov Il'ich Frenkel, Walter Schottky and Carl Wagner, including the development of point-defect thermodynamics by Schottky and Wagner. In terms of point defects, ionic (and electronic) transport in ionic crystals became easy to visualize. In an 'evolving scheme of materials science', point disorder precedes structural disorder, as displayed by the AgI-type solid electrolytes (and other ionic crystals), by ion-conducting glasses, polymer electrolytes and nano-composites. During the last few decades, much progress has been made in finding and investigating novel solid electrolytes and in using them for the preservation of our environment, in particular in advanced solid state battery systems, fuel cells and sensors. Since 1972, international conferences have been held in the field of Solid State Ionics, and the International Society for Solid State Ionics was founded at one of them, held at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, in 1987.

Scientists increasingly witness the applications of MoS 2 and MoO 2 in the field of energy conversion and energy storage. On the one hand, MoS 2 and MoO 2 have been widely utilized as promising catalysts for electrocatalytic or photocatalytic hydrogen evolution in aqueous solution. On the other hand, MoS 2 and MoO 2 have also been verified as efficient electrode material for lithium ion batteries. In this review, the synthesis, structure and properties of MoS 2 and MoO 2 are briefly summarized according to their applications for H 2 generation and lithium ion batteries. Firstly, we overview the recent advancements in the morphology control of MoS 2 and MoO 2 and their applications as electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions. Secondly, we focus on the photo-induced water splitting for H 2 generation, in which MoS 2 acts as an important co-catalyst when combined with other semiconductor catalysts. The newly reported research results of the significant functions of MoS 2 nanocomposites in photo-induced water splitting are presented. Thirdly, we introduce the advantages of MoS 2 and MoO 2 for their enhanced cyclic performance and high capacity as electrode materials of lithium ion batteries. Recent key achievements in MoS 2- and MoO 2-based lithium ion batteries are highlighted. Finally, we discuss the future scope and the important challenges emerging from these fascinating materials.

Most materials expand upon heating. However, although rare, some materials contract upon heating. Such negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials have enormous industrial merit because they can control the thermal expansion of materials. Recent progress in materials research enables us to obtain materials exhibiting negative coefficients of linear thermal expansion over −30 ppm K −1. Such giant NTE is opening a new phase of control of thermal expansion in composites. Specifically examining practical aspects, this review briefly summarizes materials and mechanisms of NTE as well as composites containing NTE materials, based mainly on activities of the last decade.

The present status and recent research results on amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOSs) and their thin-film transistors (TFTs) are reviewed. AOSs represented by amorphous In–Ga–Zn–O (a-IGZO) are expected to be the channel material of TFTs in next-generation flat-panel displays because a-IGZO TFTs satisfy almost all the requirements for organic light-emitting-diode displays, large and fast liquid crystal and three-dimensional (3D) displays, which cannot be satisfied using conventional silicon and organic TFTs. The major insights of this review are summarized as follows. (i) Most device issues, such as uniformity, long-term stability against bias stress and TFT performance, are solved for a-IGZO TFTs. (ii) A sixth-generation (6G) process is demonstrated for 32'' and 37'' displays. (iii) An 8G sputtering apparatus and a sputtering target have been developed. (iv) The important effect of deep subgap states on illumination instability is revealed. (v) Illumination instability under negative bias has been intensively studied, and some mechanisms are proposed. (vi) Degradation mechanisms are classified into back-channel effects, the creation of traps at an interface and in the gate insulator, and the creation of donor states in annealed a-IGZO TFTs by the Joule heating; the creation of bulk defects should also be considered in the case of unannealed a-IGZO TFTs. (vii) Dense passivation layers improve the stability and photoresponse and are necessary for practical applications. (viii) Sufficient knowledge of electronic structures and electron transport in a-IGZO has been accumulated to construct device simulation models.

The rapid development in nanomaterials has brought great opportunities to cancer theranostics, which aims to combine diagnostics and therapy for cancer treatment and thereby improve the healthcare of patients. In this review we focus on the recent progress of several cancer theranostic strategies using mesoporous silica nanoparticles and carbon-based nanomaterials. Silicon and carbon are both group IV elements; they have been the most abundant and significant non-metallic substances in human life. Their intrinsic physical/chemical properties are of critical importance in the fabrication of multifunctional drug delivery systems. Responsive nanocarriers constructed using these nanomaterials have been promising in cancer-specific theranostics during the past decade. In all cases, either a controlled texture or the chemical functionalization is coupled with adaptive properties, such as pH-, light-, redox- and magnetic field- triggered responses. Several studies in cells and mice models have implied their underlying therapeutic efficacy; however, detailed and long-term in vivo clinical evaluations are certainly required to make these bench-made materials compatible in real bedside circumstances.

Adding a large amount of light elements such as aluminum to steels is not a new concept recalling that several Fe–Al–Mn–C alloys were patented in 1950s for replacement of nickel or chromium in corrosion resistance steels. However, the so-called lightweight steels or low-density steels were revisited recently, which is driven by demands from the industry where steel has served as a major structural material. Strengthening without loss of ductility has been a triumph in steel research, but lowering the density of steel by mixing with light elements will be another prospect that may support the competitiveness against emerging alternatives such as magnesium alloys. In this paper, we review recent studies on lightweight steels, emphasizing the concept of alloy design for microstructures and mechanical properties. The influence of alloying elements on the phase constituents, mechanical properties and the change of density is critically reviewed. Deformation mechanisms of various lightweight steels are discussed as well. This paper provides a reason why the success of lightweight steels is strongly dependent on scientific achievements even though alloy development is closely related to industrial applications. Finally, we summarize some of the main directions for future investigations necessary for vitalizing this field of interest.

In this article, we review our recent work on mid-infrared (mid-IR) photonic materials and devices fabricated on silicon for on-chip sensing applications. Pedestal waveguides based on silicon are demonstrated as broadband mid-IR sensors. Our low-loss mid-IR directional couplers demonstrated in SiN x waveguides are useful in differential sensing applications. Photonic crystal cavities and microdisk resonators based on chalcogenide glasses for high sensitivity are also demonstrated as effective mid-IR sensors. Polymer-based functionalization layers, to enhance the sensitivity and selectivity of our sensor devices, are also presented. We discuss the design of mid-IR chalcogenide waveguides integrated with polycrystalline PbTe detectors on a monolithic silicon platform for optical sensing, wherein the use of a low-index spacer layer enables the evanescent coupling of mid-IR light from the waveguides to the detector. Finally, we show the successful fabrication processing of our first prototype mid-IR waveguide-integrated detectors.

Depends on what you mean, but you can check out the Stack Exchange promotion archive for cool events that have happened in the past. Winter Bash is just an extension of Arqade's Hat Dash from last year, for example.

Detailed Description:
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inherited form of rickets and osteomalacia caused by inactivating mutations in the gene encoding the tissue-nonspecific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). Low circulating levels of alkaline phosphatase with elevated serum or urine levels of the TNSALP substrates inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) and phosphoethanolamine (PEA) are the biochemical hallmarks of the disease. Disease severity in HPP is inversely related to the age at symptom presentation. The most severe cases occur in utero and almost invariably result in death, generally due to pulmonary compromise. Infants who present in the first six months of life have about 50% mortality.

On March 2, 1975, the idea of what is now the Atlantic 10 Conference was conceived. What started as an eight-school, men's basketball-only affiliation has grown into a 13-university, 21-sport league that is universally hailed as one of the best conferences in the country.
That growth and prominence is a direct result of the ideals and commitments of the member institutions of the Atlantic 10 – The University of Dayton, Duquesne University, Fordham University, George Mason University, The George Washington University, La Salle University, University of Massachusetts, University of Rhode Island, University of Richmond, St. Bonaventure University, Saint Joseph's University, Saint Louis University and Virginia Commonwealth University. The league will add one more to its ranks in 2014 when Davidson College becomes the 14th institution to join the A-10.
In 2012-13, the Atlantic 10 was continued to be proactive in navigating sweeping conference realignment, adding George Mason University for 2013 and Davidson College in 2014. The additions follow a very successful first year by Virginia Commonwealth University, which began full membership on July 1, 2012. The league continues to draw national praise for its decisions during conference realignment in selecting institutions driven by academics and basketball. The league was deemed the "winner" of conference realignment in 2011-12. The three additions were part of a five-year Strategic Initiative Plan that was adopted during the 2010-11 academic year.

The 13 member institutions of the A-10 are united and strengthened by their diversity. Each is extraordinary in its educational mission, whether of a Catholic faith, a private university or a land grant institution. The varied pursuits of each member prove that there are many threads that weave the fabric for a great conference.
The Atlantic 10 Conference, with a total population of over 82 million people within its geographic footprint of seven states and the District of Columbia, will crown champions in 21 sports this year: baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's cross country, field hockey, men's golf, women's lacrosse, men's and women's indoor and outdoor track & field, women's rowing, men's and women's soccer, softball, men's and women's swimming & diving, men's and women's tennis, and women's volleyball.
The presidents and chancellors of Atlantic 10 institutions, in conjunction with Atlantic 10 Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade, have made a strong commitment to making the academic and athletics equation a successful one. Over the years, the league membership has strived to better recognize the academic accomplishments of its student-athletes. The Commissioner's Honor Roll, which cites every Atlantic 10 student-athlete with a 3.5 grade point average or better, recognized a record 3,255 student-athletes in 2012-13.
The league sponsors Academic All-Conference teams in each of its sports and honors two student-athletes as the A-10 Student-Athletes of the Year. Moreover, the Atlantic 10 provides four postgraduate scholarship grants to qualified student-athletes. In 2012-13, nearly 200 student-athletes earned Academic All-Conference recognition, while Saint Louis' Alejandro (Alex) Aleman, Shane Basen of Charlotte, Nicole Cherok of Duquesne and Sadie Wonders from Dayton were named Postgraduate Scholarship recipients. The Postgraduate Scholarship program has been so successful that the Atlantic 10's Directors of Athletics recently voted to more than double the number of recipients to 10 individuals and increase the value each recipient receives to $7,000. The program will expand beginning with the 2014 honorees.
The Atlantic 10 Conference once again earned high marks in the latest Academic Progress Rates (APR). This includes ranking fifth among all 32 Division I Conferences with a 984 average, 10 points above the national average. The Atlantic 10 had 49 teams rated with perfect scores, up from 40 last year, and there were 106 teams with a score of 990 or better. In total, there were 184 conference teams with APR scores at or above the national average, representing 76 percent of all A-10 teams. Of the 21 championship sponsored sports in the Atlantic 10, 19 had a sport average at or above the national average. There were 54 A-10 programs that earned national APR public recognition from the for scores ranked in the top 10 percent of their respective sports in APR scores and the league ranked fourth among all Division I conferences in number of teams publically recognized by the NCAA.
The Atlantic 10 boasted a second-place ranking in the single-year Graduation Success Rate (GSR) among all Division I leagues that was released in the Fall of 2012. Measured in a six-year window, 90 percent of freshman enrolling in an A-10 institution in 2005 graduated. Twelve of the league's institutions were above the national four-year GSR average of 8o percent and five of those programs, Dayton, George Washington, Richmond, Saint Joseph's and Xavier are all over 90 percent. The Atlantic 10 also rates in the Top 10 in men's basketball, women's basketball and baseball in the single-year GSR. The league is ninth nationally in men's basketball, graduating at a 74 percent rate, nearly 7 percent above the national average. In women's basketball the league ranks sixth with an incredible 96 percent graduation rate for its 2004 freshman class, 10 percent higher than the national average. In baseball, the A-10 is tied for third nationally with an 87 percent GSR, also 10 percent higher than the national average.
Saint Louis used three home runs to power its way to the 2013 Atlantic 10 Baseball Championship with a 7-4 victory over Charlotte. It is the third A-10 title for Saint Louis (2006, 2010 & 2013) and the Billikens earn the A-10's automatic bid to the 2013 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship. SLU, which dropped its opening game of the championship to Xavier on Thursday, won four games over the course of 24 hours to take the title. Saint Louis becomes the first teams since XU's 2009 squad to win the championship out of the consolation bracket. SLU's Alex Kelly was named the Championship's Most Outstanding Player after setting records for hits with 12 and RBI with 13. The Billikens as a team hit seven homeruns during the week, which ties a championship record, while their 92 hits in seven games is a championship best. Saint Louis played in the Columbia Regional where it lost host South Carolina and were knocked out of the tournament with a loss to Clemson.
In what was a historic season for the Atlantic 10 Conference, Saint Louis won its first A-10 title with a 62-56 win over league newcomer VCU in the first championship played in Barclays Center. The Billikens, who lost former coach Rick Majerus in December, were one of a record nine teams selected for the postseason, including five selections (VCU, Temple, Saint Louis, La Salle and Butler) into the NCAA Tournament. La Salle, which played in the opening round in Dayton beat Boise State to start a 6-0 streak for the A-10 that resulted in every team advancing to the third round. La Salle then picked up one more win and advanced to the Sweet 16, the sixth straight year the Atlantic 10 had a team in the Sweet 16. Charlotte, UMass and Saint Joseph's all earned NIT bids and Richmond played in the CBI. The historic year saw seven different teams earn poll votes or get ranked, 10 teams in the Top 100 of the RPI and 16 wins over ranked opponents.
Natasha Cloud scored 15 points to help Saint Joseph's rally to beat Fordham, 47-46, and win the Atlantic 10 Women's Basketball Championship, earning the Hawks their first trip to the NCAA tournament since 2000. This was the first year that the women, along with the men, played at Barclays Center. In the past the women played their tournament on four consecutive days in Philadelphia. Now these two teams had a six-day break to prepare for the final. The game was played in front of an A-10 Women's Basketball Championship record crowd of 4,436 fans. Seven Atlantic 10 Women's Basketball teams earned postseason berths. Dayton and Saint Joseph's represented the Atlantic 10 in the 2013 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament. Butler, Charlotte, Duquesne, Fordham and Richmond were also selected to take part in the 2013 WNIT. UD defeated St. John's in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament.

Charlotte and Fordham each advanced to the third round of the WNIT.
Butler University captured both the men's and women's titles at the 2012 Atlantic 10 Cross Country Championships.

Just a sophomore, Menard shot a 67-71-69—207, while becoming the eighth player in A-10 history to win two career league championships. Charlotte represented the A-10 at the NCAA Columbus Regional along with Xavier's Korey Ward who earned an individual bid. Richmond's Daniel Walker earned an at-large individual bid and finished second at the Tallahassee Regional that qualified him for the National Championship Tournament in Atlanta where he finished 93rd in a field of 156 players.
Massachusetts had one of the best seasons in Atlantic 10 history, posting a perfect A-10 record (7-0) and earnging rankings as high as eighth in the media poll and 12th in the coaches poll.

The Explorers, who are unbeaten in regular-season conference play dating back to the fall of 2010, earned their second consecutive NCAA appearance under the leadership of two-time A-10 Coach of the Year, Paul Royal. The second-seeded Dayton Flyers, hoping to clinch a fourth conference championship in as many years, fell short against VCU in a double-overtime loss that was decided by penalty kicks. The Explorers season ended with a 4-1 loss to the nationally-ranked Cavaliers of Virginia in the first round.
Fordham needed two games and had to hold off a late rally, but the Rams captured their second Atlantic 10 Softball Championship, defeating Saint Joseph's, 6-5, in the second championship game at Massachusetts' Sortino Field. Top-seeded SJU (37-10-1) won the first championship game on Saturday morning, 7-1, to force the second game. Second-seeded Fordham, who also won the title in 2011, earned the league's automatic bid to the 2013 NCAA Tournament on Saturday in a slugfest, as home runs propelled both teams to wins. Fordham hit three homers in game two, a solo shot by Elise Fortier in the first, a two-run blast by the Championship's Most Outstanding Player Paige Ortiz in the second inning and a Kayla Lombaro homer in the third that also plated two runs. Fordham was selected for the Norman Regional and opened the 2013 NCAA Softball Championship against Arkansas.

The Rams secured the 4-3 victory and the A-10's automatic berth to the their 20th NCAA appearance under Paul Kostin, who earned his 100th career victory.

text: Representatives Want Economic Analysis of Proposed GIPSA Rule Livestock groups also support economic analysis. Published on: Oct 6, 2010 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Members of Congress are calling for a comprehensive economic analysis of the proposed rule on livestock and poultry marketing. According to a letter to Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack signed by 115 members of the U.S. House, the proposed rule that was released by USDA's Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration in June includes proposed regulations that greatly exceed the mandate of the 2008 Farm Bill. The letter states that a broad rule that extends so far beyond Congress' direction in the Farm Bill - and that would precipitate major changes in livestock and poultry marketing - requires a vigorous economic analysis. The legislators contend the analysis contained in the proposed rule fails to demonstrate the need for the rule, assess the impact of its implementation on the marketplace or establish how the implementation would address the demonstrated need. They call the proposed rule sweeping in its scope - and say it would carry major consequences in the marketing of livestock and poultry for producers of all sizes. The elected leaders say an economic analysis is necessary in order for Congress and the public to evaluate the rule and its implications. The letter was led by House Ag Chair Collin Peterson, House Ag Ranking Member Frank Lucas, Livestock Subcommittee Chair David Scott and Livestock Subcommittee Ranking Member Randy Neugebauer. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association and National Pork Producers Council both agree that an economic analysis of the proposed GIPSA rule is needed. NPPC President Sam Carney says producers need to know how much the rule will cost them. Further - he says it's unfathomable a major regulation like this doesn't have an analysis of its impact on the economy and jobs. NCBA President Steve Foglesong agrees - questioning why an administration that touts revitalization of America and the creation of jobs wouldn't force the economic analysis of a rule that could cost jobs and financially devastate a sector that provides safe, affordable food for the nation. Foglesong says the proposed rule is another example of government intrusion into private business. He says the policymakers who sent the letter to Secretary Tom Vilsack took the common sense approach to rule making. He says they should get credit for standing up for U.S. farmers and ranchers and all of rural America.

Enterprise Vulnerabilities From DHS/US-CERT's National Vulnerability Database
Untrusted search path vulnerability in a certain Red Hat build script for the ibmssh executable in ibutils packages before ibutils-1.5.7-2.el6 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 and ibutils-1.2-11.2.el5 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan Horse program in refix/lib/, related to an incorrect RPATH setting in the ELF header.
The monitoring probe display in spacewalk-java before 2.1.148-1 and Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite 4.0.0 through 4.2.0 and 5.1.0 through 5.3.0, and Proxy 5.3.0, allows remote authenticated users with permissions to administer monitoring probes to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, related to backticks.
CVE-2010-5298 (openssl)
Race condition in the ssl3_read_bytes function in s3_pkt.c in OpenSSL through 1.0.1g, when SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS is enabled, allows remote attackers to inject data across sessions or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and parsing error) via an SSL connection in a multithreaded environment.
Untrusted search path vulnerability in pam_motd (aka the MOTD module) in libpam-modules before 1.1.3-2ubuntu2.1 on Ubuntu 11.10, before 1.1.2-2ubuntu8.4 on Ubuntu 11.04, before 1.1.1-4ubuntu2.4 on Ubuntu 10.10, before 1.1.1-2ubuntu5.4 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and before 0.99.7.1-5ubuntu6.5 on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, when using certain configurations such as "session optional pam_motd.so", allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the PATH environment variable to reference a malicious command, as demonstrated via uname.
The pkgAcqMetaClearSig::Failed method in apt-pkg/acquire-item.cc in Advanced Package Tool (APT) 0.8.11 through 0.8.15.10 and 0.8.16 before 0.8.16~exp13, when updating from repositories that use InRelease files, allows man-in-the-middle attackers to install arbitrary packages by preventing a user from downloading the new InRelease file, which leaves the original InRelease file active and makes it more difficult to detect that the Packages file is modified and unsigned.

My latest binge was my T-shirts. Soft, faded lovely old T-shirts. I cannot give away, let alone throw away, a T-shirt. I just stash it away in my Clothes To Be Repurposed Box, knowing one day that it would serve some Greater Purpose.
There was a problem, though. Between the growing collection of T-shirts and half-felted sweaters, the box was getting pretty crowded. But what actually triggered this binge was an old T-shirt sheet that was on my bed when I was in high school. Now the sheet actually served a purpose for a good part of it's old life — it was used on my bed, until about six years ago when my newlywed husband and I traded our old double bed for a new queen (by "traded" I mean we gave it back to my mom, because I'd been borrowing it since I left for college).
I held onto the sheet for five more years, not having a bed that it would fit on, thinking I could use it for something. And recently, it has been used — to make a fort and hammock for the kids on the bunk beds.
But I tripped over it while walking through the dining room one day. And it made me angry. Why was this filthy sheet just strewn across the floor, covered in dog hair and kid drool and who knew what else? I threw it in the laundry and decided that I must find something useful to do with that sheet.
By the time it washed and dried, I knew what this sheet was really meant to be: a rug. Making a braided rug from T-shirt yarn is surprisingly easy, especially when you can do all the stitching on your machine. Traditionally, braided rugs are hand sewn with invisible stitches, but this can take a very long time, since there can be hundreds of feet of braid in a single rug. When you sew the coiled braids together on the machine the stitching is visible, so keep that in mind when choosing a thread. Make sure the thread is a heavier weight too, since it's going to get a bit of foot traffic.
I followed a tutorial on Instructables.com (go to www.instructables.com and search for "T-shirt rug") and got to work making my first braid. Within an hour, I had a horrible mess of a rug about 16 inches in diameter with stitching everywhere, pulling apart and curling up on the edges, so it was more like a cloth bowl than rug. Lesson learned: 1. Always check the tension setting before you start to sew, because you never know when a toddler has snuck in and messed with the dials. I also stacked up books around my sewing machine as an extension table, to help keep the braids flat and stop them from curling up.
Along with the sheet, I also cut up seven T-shirts and made them into yarn, ending with a braid that was 92 feet long. All that coiled into an oval rug about 32 inches by 25 inches. Not quite as big as I was hoping, but I left the ends so I can attach more as I collect more shirts.
As a rug, that sheet is doing its job well, strewn cock-eyed across the floor, covered with dog hair and kid drool and who knows what else, waiting for me to trip over it.
I feel another binge coming on …
